Abstract
Monotone multidimensional upwind schemes for the numerical simulation of Space Weather magnetohydrodynamic plasma flows are presented. The extension of the steady residual distribution magnetohydrodynamic schemes to three spatial dimensions is described. Residual distribution schemes for time dependent flows are discussed that make use of the Flux Corrected Transport approach and that are second order accurate away from discontinuities while retaining positivity. The schemes are tested on basic flow problems in two and three dimensions
